To my surprise, spending at Ikea was entitled to 15% but spending on 22/1 onwards no 15% rebate. Can complain? Anyone spent earlier than this but did not get rebate?

Hi guys,

When I am trying to register at
https://www.americanexpress.com.my

After I've key in the four digit at top right of the card & click "Register Now", it says "Invalid Four Digit"

Is this because of my Amex Card have "Maybankard" logo on it?
*
Did you get a letter enclosed together with the card saying that this is just a temporary card? Well in order to register in amex website itself, you must call the CS and give your four digits so they could update it in their system...

Ikea is under the Ikano Power Centre Shooping Centre.
22-Jan is near month end.. of course the quota of 15% rebate would have finish by then.

You are absolutely correct for M2Amex on weekend if you have not reached the cap of RM50

but for the M2Amex vs M2Visa, so far all reporting for Amex only and we yet to see a actual comparison between the two done on the same place and time. Once we see that, we can then consider the 5X and 1X to work out which give more return. It may just end up the same because 5X =2.5% and 1X =0.5%.

biggrin.gif I actually used my Maybankard 2 AMEX mostly. Have never tried on Maybankard 2 VISA. The exchange rate for my Maybankard 2 VISA is definitely much lower than other banks.

Now chickening out from using MBB2Kard Amex for transactions more than RM1,000.00 NT$ equivalent, especially on non-weekend and also considering that for Amex, transaction is converted to US$ 1st and reconverted thereafter to RM. MBB does not post the NT$ exchange rate online save for currency notes. So far, have only used MBB2Kard Visa as you can get additional gift from Visa at Sogo Taipei. Will try to do lower value transactions with MBB2Kard2 Amex and Visa as well as DAMC at approximately same transaction times for forumer's benefit.

Wise move since the amount is not small. Next time, if paying for more than 1 item, do try to split payment e.g. buying shirts, souvenir, chocolates, etc. Thanks.

I posted in my blog yesterday about my Wife's Application for Maybankard 2 Cards. She ended up with Maybankard 4 Cards! Click here to read abut it.

CODE
18-Feb-2011   15-Feb-2011   KATA GARDEN RESORT TH   THB775.00     RM78.26  

Here's a transaction made in THB with MBB VISA. When converted, it was 100THB = RM10.09 which was pretty good and to my opinion it's even better than most currency exchanger. The best rate i could get at that time was 100THB = RM10.15, to me it's acceptable to swipe oversea with MBB biggrin.gif

Yeap, they try to push all the problem and dispute to the "hey, 3 million cash back already paid out for this month and you are disqualified for getting this rewards" part. Try complain and see and wish can get the $$$ back.

The bad thing is, I have change my mobile phone and I think that time left this sms on the old mobile. Can't trace back anymore sad.gif

I think this is the shortcoming of "first come first serve" Cashback Promo.
However, PBB also doing the same thing, but nobody complain here. thumbup.gif
